Zimbra Collaboration Server aspell.php dictionary Parameter XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 72670

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a PHP script that is affected by a cross- site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The version of the Zimbra Collaboration Server spell check service installed on the remote host is affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'dictionary' parameter of the 'aspell.php' script. An attacker may be able to leverage this to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
